💼 Job Description —KPI & Data Platform

We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to help improve the foundation of Skynopy’s monitoring and KPI platform, used daily to operate our antennas and demonstrate service performance to customers.

You will work at the intersection of backend development, cloud infrastructure, and satellite operations, transforming live operational data into production-grade metrics, alerts, and dashboards.

This is a hands-on engineering role on distributed systems, running across on-premise and cloud infrastructure, with a strong focus on backend development and observability stacks.

You will focus on two main components: the operational part and the business KPIs.

🛰️ Operations & Satellite Monitoring

• Design and develop backend services within a distributed, event-driven architecture

• Process data from satellite passes and ground stations using brokers and streaming pipelines

• Work with metrics, logs, and alerting to monitor system and mission health

• Debug and analyze anomalies in production systems during real satellite contacts

📊 Business KPIs & SLAs

• Build robust data pipelines to compute customer KPIs

• Expose performance indicators through APIs and streaming protocols

• Aggregate data from on-prem and cloud systems into unified metrics

• Support automated SLA tracking with reliable, reproducible measurements

You will contribute to real satellite operations, working on production distributed systems, with modern backend and observability technologies, and a direct impact on reliability and customer trust.

🎓 Qualifications

We’re looking for strong engineering students with solid software fundamentals.

Required

• Strong academic background in software concepts

• Good programming skills (know at least one programming language such as Python)

• Solid understanding of relational databases

• Interest in data engineering, observability, and backend systems

Nice to have

• Experience with AWS or cloud environments

• Familiarity with logging/metrics dashboards (Grafana, Datadog, etc.)

• Curiosity for space systems and satellite operations

📚 Learning opportunities

Joining Skynopy means learning at the heart of a fast-growing space startup, surrounded by experts and real satellite operations.

1. Learn a Real Engineering Job — and Grow Fast

Build a complete data platform from scratch while applying modern backend, cloud, and data-engineering best practices.
